Course:Machining Operations Using SolidCAM

Course DescriptionSolidCAM is a CAM software integrated with SOLIDWORKS. It provides a complete set of tools required for part machining and is extensively used in industry to control the tool path for the machining of components.

This course covers all major tools and operations of this software such as 2.5 Axis Milling, 3-Axis Milling, High Speed Machining, and CAM Turning. After completing this course, the trainees/students will be able to control and simulate the toolpath as well as generate the NC-code file.

Class Hours: 80 (Theory and Practical)

Prerequisites: The trainee/student needs to be an Engineer/Technologist with knowledge of manufacturing processes. Familiarity with CNC machining technology and G & M codes will be added advantage.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, trainees/students will be able to:

Understand the designing operations on SOLIDWORKS

Define the part, stock, and checks for geometry

Understand the different types of tools and holders

Create machining operations

Generate the tool path

Verify the tool path

Check machine simulation

Generate machine codes

Major Instructional Areas:

Introducing SolidCAM and SOLIDWORKS (integration)

Defining geometry

Defining tools and their functions

Creating operations for 2.5D and 3D axis milling

Creating Operations for HSR Roughing, HSM Finishing, and Turning

Generating Tool Path and G code

Evaluation:There will be one exam that every trainee/student must pass with at least 75% to get a certificate of completion from TIET.

Suggested Learning Approach
In this course, you will study individually or within a group of peers. As you work on the course deliverables, you are encouraged to share ideas with your peers and instructor, work collaboratively on projects and team assignments, raise critical questions, and provide constructive feedback.
